Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps = New Favorite Mexican Food!

Something shifted in me these last few years and now I cannot seem to get enough Mexican food!

Without fail, I normally enjoy at least one meal per day that has a Mexican flair.

Breakfast… Healthy Mexican Breakfast Casserole.  Lunch… Instant Pot al Pastor Tacos.  And dinner… these Ground Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps!

Keto Recipes + Mexican Cuisine

While most Mexican food has been known to be laden with cheese and dripping with unhealthy grease, that doesn’t always have to be the case!

There are numerous Mexican dishes that actually do not have cheese in them at all.

The seasonings and spices give most dishes in this cuisine TONS of flavor, so it is really simple to come up with a variety of easy keto recipes to cook.

However, you do have to remember that corn is NOT allowed in ketogenic recipes.  (So, unfortunately, corn tortillas are out of the question.)

Instead, you can wrap your favorite ground turkey taco filling in a cozy lettuce wrap and munch away!

Should I Serve these Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps Hot or Cold?

My personal preference when serving these turkey taco lettuce wraps is to serve the meat mixture immediately when it comes out of the skillet.

Finish this Paleo lettuce wrap recipe off with your favorite toppings and serve while still warm.

Doing it this way will give you a wonderful contrast of cold, crisp, lettuce and a warm, comforting filling.

How Can You Evolve these Ground Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps?

While these taco lettuce wraps are already gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, Whole30, Paleo and ketogenic, there are still a number of ways you can choose to switch up this ground turkey lettuce wrap recipe.  Some of these include:

• Use medium or mild salsa depending on your desired spice level.
• Take your pick on the wrap by using either Romaine, Iceberg, or Butter lettuce.
• Top your taco lettuce wraps with whatever taco fixings you prefer!  Pico de gallo, guacamole, and more salsa would be great additions.
